Will hero appear in an hour?

that's no the totem, that's just a cancerous creepypasta oc

shhhhh

If maintenance is tomorrow? Couldn't they release a video today and say the hero releases after maintenance?

30 minutes

It's been two weeks, I'm starting to lose hope for July at this point. At least August 4 isn't THAT far away.

Yes

EVO is next weekend.

I had a dream that Hero dropped and something about his release trailer heavily hinted at Phoenix Wright. I hate myself for waking up.

Hopefully we at least we get the hero video tonight, pretty unlikely but it could happen

10 MINUTES GET READY

FOR NOTHING.

I guess they could do what said, seems a bit weird but no one said they can’t release the video a few days before he actually drops

FOR ANOTHER THREAD TOMORROW, WE’LL GET IT RIGHT ONE OF THESE DAYS

Is it me or is it taking them way to goddamn long to get these out. This is the fucking second one of five.

6 am PT = 9 am EST

New bonus Final Fantasy content incoming

Most of his gameplay must take a while to explain. Just watch Down B be Command and it's random, but based on current percentage. So you'll always get things like utility and small spells at the start and bigger defense measures later and things like Zoom when you are likely to be knocked off stage and then at Red percents, shit like Kamikaze.

Hey, it's just like other people were saying like a week ago here as well. 30th for vid and 31st for release. Just before the end of July. Though there was the odd one that was trying to say Middle of August, or even September.

Oh shit

So it releases on tuesday aswell?

not in

Its longer because the shit ton of spells Hero has

Nice, I was really hoping it would be before a certain day
DON'T FUCKING DO THIS TO ME

Attached: 58905892.jpg (598x749, 39K)

It does usually take 3ish minutes for a character reveal, and Hero’s showcase is 5 minutes longer than jokers. But why would they reveal someone before banjo is here

Spells that we have already seen most of. We saw nothing of Ren before his trailer.

Yeah, he's got to explain every single one of them, including which of them are chargable and how this changes their MP cost. Also how he even gets MP back. Then there is the music and which games they are from and why they selected those tracks and other things.

I bet its for homerun contest

I just hope the Geno mii costume comes back so my pain can finally end. If it isn't announced I’m going to wonder if he’s actually getting in later even though I know deep down that he isn’t.

>Fighter adjustments
Huh, I guess they are tweaking stuff, weird since the last patch did that

The first 3 minutes of Joker's video were essentially a trailer
So technically if they get straight to the point, Hero's video is 10 minutes longer

RIDLEY BUFFS PLEASE

They probably have that time to go over his gimmick that uses the menu

Who else anticipating other Mii Costume massacre?

They must have something much more major that they needed to change this patch, while last patch had something small that needed adjusting while they added the VR stuff.

i really thought it was his time. i'm heartbroken. not salty about the hero, though. they look cool.

Listing spells should take 5-7 minutes

Reminder that in Jokers trailer we got:
>A Trailer
>An in depth analysis of his moveset stage and music
>An explanation on dlc spirits
>Mii costumes
>Stage Builder
>Video Editor
>Shared online content

The Hero already got a regular trailer and his video is still about 50% longer. Even if they explain each of the spells, what the hell could they use all that time for?

Attached: 1535411332180.jpg (1200x1200, 185K)

More mii costumes that aren't SE related

i mean for the 40 minute smash direct in november most of it was on useless shit so it'll probably be that again

don't expect too much, remember the era of grinch leak and how everyone saw the length of the direct and thought it was basically confirmed only too find out they stretched it out.

Its gonna be amiibo

What about the 7 characters they announced? :)

Homerun contest
More additions to Stage Builder
Mii Costumes like the return of Geno
Additional content for FF, like music and spirits, which will show up on Hero's Spirit Board

Gee I don't know user.

so they just happened to know Info was coming on the 28th about Hero and then it does, sure they said it was an actual reveal, but their sources/info might've been a mishap or an assumption based on what they knew.

made a shitty bingo card

its a literal guess you dipshit, fuck off

Rip joker

>info

No, that idiot said that the Hero himself would be out on the 28th. That isn't anywhere close, don't be stupid.

Hey retard it even says RELEASE DATE on top.

Go back to grade school and learn how to read.

>4x4 Bingo

I bet you that Joker gets stupid nerfed for the wrong reason too. Like less gun damage while Persona is out.

But they DIDN'T say info. They openly stated "Release", meaning when they open to the public.
And yes, they "just happened to know". Do you know how much fake shit comes to here on the daily?

Real talk, does anybody consitently and effectively use Gun Special, or is it just ...there?

I couldn't think of enough stuff for a 5x5

*consistently.
God fucking dammit.

I don't think so. The normal shots don't do much, but if you catch them in rain storm, it deals some stupid good damage and powered up it can do some good damage, but by that point you should be trying to go for kill, not racking up damage.

Do you think hee has a chance ho? Like they change their mind and throw him a costume?

Attached: X0U4CXH.gif (308x236, 135K)

What would he be though? Brawler?

his face in this gif reminds me of jevil

Considering what happened last time with Joker, the maintenance may just be to prepare for the storm when Hero releases and they'll put an update up right after it finishes.

I use it a lot because having a gun along with a blade feels very Megaten and damn if I'm not going to try my best to appreciate the only Megaten rep we've got. I also use Tetra/Marakarn a lot for the same reason.

Yeah, I mean Skull Kid was a Brawler too so it'd make sense.

What are we waiting for exactly? Why are people talking about a new fighter with a patch?

source info could've been not completely exact.

Except they wouldn't have an explaination video telling when he's releasing if he's already released. Place your bets though, when is Hero releasing? 31st? Or Early August? Or are we getting unlucky and even beyond that? Despite what the 7/11 ad has about taking the ad down by the 4th?

Use your brain or read the thread

Mkleo

31, the 4.0 pop us is already up

And that he's the sheriff

>Even if they explain each of the spells, what the hell could they use all that time for?
Just a few ideas:
>More Mii costumes that aren't from Squeenix (ie Namco or Konami costumes)
>New Spirits (from games like Fire Emblem Three Houses)
>New Assist Trophies / Pokemon (again, like from Fire Emblem Three Houses and Pokemon Sword / Shield, or maybe Assist Trophies from DQ and Persona)
>Homerun Contest comes back
>Stage Builder update
>In depth details on certain character changes
>Sakurai just playing around in general
There's a lot they could do to fill that gap

Yeah, it's what I figured. Bot wouldn't have popped if update wasn't ready to come out as soon as possible. Still, never know what could happen. XC2 had two updates delayed for a time because of last minute bullshit, literally the night of the patch.

I think it'll mostly be returning costumes

>World of Light expansion
Well, that certainly does tie in with Luminary's reveal trailer. FUCKING GIVE ME A BOSS BATTLE AGAINST BALDER/MASKED LUMEN, GODDAMN IT! I GOT BAMBOOZLED BY THE MASKED LUMEN SPIRIT BEING SHOWCASED NEXT TO RATHALOS AND SHIT!

I NEED A HERO, I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TILL THE END OF THE NIGHT

According to the 711 ad Hero will be out before Aug 4th.

Update Bot already grabbed the 4.0 patch, so they are preparing to update soon. Just like with Joker, it's going to be the day after the video, so 31st.

Same senpai. Just end our fucking misery since we know we're just gonna get cucked again.

So guys, might be a problem. This says that the 22 minutes, might be a mistranslation and it was actually suppose to be about the time it is going to be shown in Japan. 22:00, or 10pm. Unless it happens to be 22 minutes and it's a coincidence.

Is nintendo really this retarded? Can't they translate their own tweets?

Now Sakurai says that his demo will be unscripted, off the cuff, not pre done at all. Shit boys, we doing this live. It's going to take however long he needs to get it done.

OH NO NO NO NO NO

nigger what lol?

WTF GENO IS IN SUPER MASH BROS? WHY DID I NEVER KNOW THIS?

Seems so. 10pm matches the time they said the live stream would take place for American timezones. They will probably correct it in a second.

I genuninely cant tell if these Porky posters are ironic shitposters or not. You don't actually think he's DLC do you?

I'm being half ironic and half hopeful he gets added as a boss or spirit or something.

K.Rool bro touching base.

I fully cosign the GENO movement. Let's see it through

You do realize twitter translations are as shit (if not shittier) than Google translations right?

Yes, but it's clear from context that this is correct. 22:00 is the correct time it should be for the live stream in Japan that they already said for the US time frame. It's why they have to have the stream so early in the first place, because otherwise the time would be past midnight. Someone fucked up. Also Sakurai is saying that there is no time, because it's a live presentation and there is no script.

presented ad-lib apparently
twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1155669281268305920

Picture says 22mins, tweet says 22hours (10pm), it’s prolly both. Cause it’s in celebration of the 2nd anniversary of XI.

22 minutes is a long time to have to ad-lib. I doubt it will take him that long to go over all of Hero's stuff.

So what the fuck time is it? fucking retarded translators

6 am PT, didn't you read the tweet?

that would be retarded

Sakurai himself just retweeted it with the pic:

twitter.com/sora_sakurai/status/1155661627900870657?s=21

22分間 means “22 min interval” and that’s what’s plastered on the image of the tweet. If it was miscommunication of sorts, Sakurai wouldn’t have retweeted the picture.

It’s at 10pm Japan. 22時 AND it’s 22mins long. 22分間.

I'm not use to the Bun kanji looking like that, it's clearer with what you posted. So yes, there is no mistake. 22 of ad-libbing though. Man, he better have some good shit to talk about.

it isnt 分間, its 公開 which means something like "being available to the public" or "opening". theres nothing on that image that suggests it being 22 minutes long

Yeah, I just realized that, I’m a fucking idiot.

It’s “koukai” and it means public presentation.

So then, not 22 minutes long. Man, this just keeps slinging back and forth and I feel stupid for not trusting myself. I knew I didn't see the minute kanji, but I'm still learning, so I figured I should trust you instead. They have so many different ways of writing the same thing sometimes, I figured I just missed this one.

It’s not 22 mins long, it’s at 22時, and 公開means public presentation or public announcement. 公 is the kanji for public not minutes.

That's what I said, I didn't see the minute kanji. I kind of figured that they couldn't have a time after Sakurai said they would be doing things without a script and that it would be different then a typical Direct.

I wonder how much longer it will be before NoA catches the mistake though.
